    The staff at Marzano were very accommodating when we asked to switch tables due to the noise from a large party next to us. My friend has hearing loss and we would not have been able to carry a conversation if we had not moved tables. Thank you! That change made our visit enjoyable.

    What an amazing experience! The room is hip and fresh. The service is friendly and attentive. The food is delicious. Much better than you might expect from a small town- the chef is world-class and the pastry chef bakes at an even higher level. This is our favourite restaurant in Nelson. I drive 7 hours from Calgary just for their desserts and seafood (squid and tagliatelle Nero.)

    Mix of ingredients far too complicated. Flavor too jumbled. Food was good, definitely not great. Food quality has diminished over recent years. It is a nice setting with good service. Average prices for this type of restaurant.

    My partner and I got to experience Marzano for the first time last night and it was outstanding! I requested on my reservation "a nice, quiet table" and was seated at a really nice booth. We don't usually go to restaurant cause we are often disappointed, but last night we enjoyed every bite we had. Everything was well presented and the flavors were awesome. We loved everything, from our server, to the music playing, the ambiance, and of course the food. The portions were exactly what you would want from an Italian restaurant, big and satisfying 😌 cannot wait to go back!

    Polenta fries, funghi and burrata pizzas all delicious. Very interesting flavour combinations in each that stayed interesting to the last bites. A little pricy but some of the best food we’ve had… and we’re foodies. A few more vegetarian options would be appreciated.
